Imagine that your colleague received an award for teamwork, but you believe that you contributed equally or more. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will congratulate him and realize that the team's recognition is more important than individual credit. I feel unfairly overlooked, but I decide to work even harder. I will start to present my achievements more so that they are visible. In private, I will express disappointment, but in public, I will maintain a professional attitude. I will start to doubt the fairness of the reward system.

During the meeting, you noticed that a colleague is making a mistake that could affect the entire team. How do you proceed?

Select an answer:

I will wait until they finish speaking, and I'll discreetly point it out. I don't deal with it unless it concerns me directly. In private, I will point out the mistake to him so he doesn't lose face. I will correct him immediately to avoid potential problems. I will give him space to realize his mistake on his own, and I plan to intervene only if necessary.

You will be tasked with leading a new project, but you have no experience in managing it. How will you approach this?

I'll take it as a challenge and learn the necessary things on the go. I am seeking advice from more experienced colleagues to avoid unnecessary mistakes. I ask myself why they chose me, and I feel uncertainty. I will try to delegate most tasks to the more competent members of the team. I am wondering if this is a test of my ability to adapt, and I am trying to manage it.

What work task gives you the greatest sense of fulfillment?

Calmly and rationally seek a solution that suits all parties involved. Express your stance directly and loudly, even if it means confrontation. I'll let things cool off and hope that the problem resolves itself. I am looking for a mediator who can help ease the situation. I will step back to avoid worsening the situation, even though I am not satisfied with it.

Good communication and mutual support. Effectiveness and clearly defined tasks. The opportunity to express one's individuality and creative ideas. A fair system of rewards and recognition. Autonomy, where everyone can work at their own pace.

You received feedback that is critical but constructive. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

Thank you, and I am thinking about how I can learn from this. At first, I feel affected, but later I consider it rationally. I will start to defend myself because I feel that it was not fair. I'm thinking whether I am in the wrong work environment. I will use it as motivation for improvement, but I am also trying to better showcase my strengths.

Imagine that your colleague is constantly overwhelmed with work but refuses help. How would you behave?

Select an answer:

I will offer him help and explain that there is no shame in accepting it. I do nothing until he asks for help himself. I am trying to motivate him to delegate tasks better. I will inform my supervisor that the situation may impact the entire team. I will indirectly help him by taking on part of his work without him noticing.
